Speaker 1: This is Dan Caplis and welcome to today's online podcast edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to give
Speaker 1: us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Keep fighting, especially
Speaker 1: on such a beautiful day as today. Hey, how cold
Speaker 1: do you think it needs to be before they delay
Speaker 1: the start of school or cancel school? I get snow,
Speaker 1: I get that, the slippery streets. I am all for that.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you what, early in my career I
Speaker 1: handled this case. It was so heartbreaking. This most beautiful
Speaker 1: six year old boy, just to just the sweetest boy
Speaker 1: you can ever imagine, killed outside his elementary school in
Speaker 1: Boulder because sheets were street you know, they were just ice.
Speaker 1: And then the city had failed to stand at the intersection,
Speaker 1: even after being warned that cars were sliding through that
Speaker 1: intersection near the school. And so this precious little boy,
Speaker 1: this single mom's only child, was killed. And I took
Speaker 1: that case on. We took it all the way to trial.
Speaker 1: We're blessed with a very wise jury. We won the case.
Speaker 1: The streets of Boulder became safer for kids. But so yeah,
Speaker 1: I've always believed if you've got conditions that make it
Speaker 1: dangerous for the kiddos to be out there, and snow
Speaker 1: and ice can do that. Right. Yeah, air on the
Speaker 1: side of safety. But cold, how cold do you think
Speaker 1: it should need to be before they're delaying the start
Speaker 1: of school. I'd love your thoughts on that. Three h
Speaker 1: three seven one three eight two five five the number
Speaker 1: techs d an five seven seven three nine, Going to
Speaker 1: talk about that, going to talk about DPS. DPS which
Speaker 1: seems to go out of its way to find creative
Speaker 1: ways to make it clear to the public that it
Speaker 1: does not care about the kids, yet really tops itself here.
Speaker 1: Denver Public Schools sues Trump administration to block immigration raids
Speaker 1: at schools. This Jessica Seemen, very good reporter at the
Speaker 1: Denver Post. Denver Public Schools sued the US Department of
Speaker 1: Homeland Security Wednesday in an effort to block federal immigration
Speaker 1: agents from making arrests at schools.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Wait, a second administration has said, Hey, we're only going
Speaker 1: out to arrests people who've committed other crimes. So now
Speaker 1: what DPS is saying to all the criminals out there is, hey,
Speaker 1: we will give you shelter. We will give you refuge
Speaker 1: criminals out there, people who have committed other crimes, not
Speaker 1: just folks here illegally, people who have committed other crimes.
Speaker 1: Please flee to our school. Come to our school, you know,
Speaker 1: place yourself inside the safe walls of our school. What's
Speaker 1: saying adult would do that? You have the most precious
Speaker 1: cargo on earth on board in these kids. Why would
Speaker 1: you do anything other than send a loud and clear message, Hey,
Speaker 1: if you're a criminal, if you've committed crimes, you better
Speaker 1: stay out of here. I'll shoot you myself. I mean,
Speaker 1: what about protecting these kids? Yet they want to magnetize,
Speaker 1: they want to attract the criminal element into their schools.
Speaker 1: What's that all about. Well, I think we know what
Speaker 1: it's about, right, We've seen this history with DPS. Not everybody.
Speaker 1: You have some great, great people within the DPS system.
Speaker 1: But when you talk about the powers that be who
Speaker 1: really get to run that operation, You've seen it over
Speaker 1: and over and over again where it has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the kids. The kids are a nuisance. It's
Speaker 1: about using DPS, using the kids as a platform to
Speaker 1: make their own far left political statements. When are we
Speaker 1: going to get people in there who actually care about
Speaker 1: the kids. And I know there are a lot of
Speaker 1: individual teachers and administrators and other good people who really
Speaker 1: care about the kids. Again, I'm talking about the powers
Speaker 1: that be that use the good people, use the kids
Speaker 1: just to go out and make their own far left statements.
Speaker 1: And that's all this thing is. How does this help
Speaker 1: the kids? How does this help make the kids safer?
Speaker 1: You know, it's again it's like Bennett and Hickenlooper backing
Speaker 1: this bill that encourages people here illegally to vote by
Speaker 1: saying ice can't detain them at a polling place, and
Speaker 1: that is that is not a public it is a
Speaker 1: goal safety issue. But that's a safety of our democracy issue,
Speaker 1: because obviously you can't have people here illegally voting, and
Speaker 1: the fact you've got bills like this Bennett Hickenlooper bill
Speaker 1: that actively encourage that and protected, Yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's just madness. You can tell who really cares, right,
Speaker 1: Who really cares about kids? Who really cares about us?
Speaker 1: Who really cares about our state? And over and over
Speaker 1: and over again, now the left is just showing they don't.
Speaker 1: And I think the people are getting it, and you're
Speaker 1: seeing that in results around the country. Colorado tougher not
Speaker 1: to crack, but eventually it will zero three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five. The number takes d an five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine. By the way, you can see
Speaker 1: that bill, because a lot of people say, on Aunt, Dan,
Speaker 1: you might must be exaggerating that or misunderstanding it. No,
Speaker 1: you can see the bill where Ben and Nikoloper are
Speaker 1: trying to protect people here illegally at polling places, saying
Speaker 1: you can't be touched there. Go to at Dan Kaplis
Speaker 1: at Twitter. Can see the bill, Please send it to
Speaker 1: your friends, because again, Ryan, people don't realize it because
Speaker 1: the guy's a ghost, right He's almost a literal ghost
Speaker 1: John Hickenlooper. People don't realize he's up for reelection right now.
Speaker 1: And everybody's got to understand the guy up for reelection
Speaker 1: is trying to make it easier for illegal immigrants to vote.
Speaker 1: He wants to pass a bill saying ice can't detain
Speaker 1: them at a polling place. What other reason would there
Speaker 1: be to be at a polling place? Ryan, If you
Speaker 1: run into like a polling place that gives away free
Speaker 1: ice cream, or is there some other reason to be
Speaker 1: there other than to vote.
Speaker 2: Maybe they would be volunteering to help in our elections.
Speaker 2: Come up with something that.
Speaker 1: Way that would boost public confide instrumentdously so and listen,
Speaker 1: I understand you've got some good people all over the
Speaker 1: map when it comes to what public policy should be
Speaker 1: on folks here illegally who are not committing other crimes.
Speaker 1: And then we have the left, which has devoted itself
Speaker 1: to protecting folks here illegally. You have committed other crimes,
Speaker 1: but I think everybody can agree folks here illegally should
Speaker 1: not be voting. So folks need to know John Hickenlooper,
Speaker 1: who wants your vote for the US Senate in Colorado
Speaker 1: in this cycle, wants to make it illegal for ICE
Speaker 1: to detain an illegal immigrant at a polling place. So
Speaker 1: so much more to talk about this crazy story out
Speaker 1: of Columbi, and we'll get to that. I'll probably started
Speaker 1: the next segment. I want to make sure we do
Speaker 1: it justice. But I know you talked about it on
Speaker 1: your award winning show, and if you haven't won awards yet,
Speaker 1: you should thanks. But by the way, do we have
Speaker 1: a screener today that you're engaged to are otherwise involved
Speaker 1: with us? You have somebody more independent.
Speaker 2: She shot me down.
Speaker 3: That would be Alexa today and the lovely Kelsey was
Speaker 3: in yesterday she was.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to talk out of school. I've
Speaker 1: just got to tell you I've been doing this for
Speaker 1: a lot of decades, and I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: before looked through the glass, you know, to get at
Speaker 1: my tremendous producer's attention, and seen him engaged in active
Speaker 1: physical romance behind the glass. And think about this, that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. Thirty years on air by whatever it is,
Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty thirty one. Who cares. But
Speaker 1: I've never seen that happening. Uh huh, how often do you? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go there. But it was just
Speaker 1: it was just odd too, and it did happen that.
Speaker 1: Don't make this out. This is I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: do a funny bit here. I've just exchanged glances and
Speaker 1: nothing more. Completely cool. Are you denying actual romantic physical
Speaker 1: contact behind the glass here?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: Well in general, no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: No, I know what I saw. I do, I saw it.
Speaker 1: It's not going to get your fire A probably gets
Speaker 1: you promoted. Oh well the next yeah, yeah, it might
Speaker 1: be a job requirement in the West wing. Oh wow, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: And she is not. She's not like a formal employee.
Speaker 1: So you're not going to have HR on your back.
Speaker 2: Or I hope not.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: It'll be quite a plot to us there.
Speaker 1: Kelsey. Yeah, Kelsey was helping out yesterday.
Speaker 2: She's answering phone.
Speaker 1: Yes, answer, she was. Kelly's father passed please centers for
Speaker 1: Kelly and her family.
Speaker 3: But I was very gentlemanly and professional, just as I
Speaker 3: would be if she were a fellow employee.
Speaker 1: Well, the fellow employees better better get their chapstick on.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Come on, now, you're killing me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and.
Speaker 1: Dan says a Texter growing up in the Denver Aary
Speaker 1: in the late fifty sixties only got two days of
Speaker 1: off in winter. It was because of the old cold
Speaker 1: fired furnace quit at Utah Junction School. We would nail
Speaker 1: boards through our feet to ski. Oh no, no, sorry,
Speaker 1: I haven't made that part up. It was like thirty
Speaker 1: degrees probably minus thirty sixty sixty one. Yeah, listen, I
Speaker 1: understand it's not the same as back then. I mean,
Speaker 1: and every listener is going to flee in the first
Speaker 1: five seconds this story. But I remember I was in kindergarten.
Speaker 1: It was twenty five below I think straight temperature in Chicago,
Speaker 1: where it was close to that, and I got up
Speaker 1: my usual six in the morning, got dressed, wandered off,
Speaker 1: wondered why nobody else was up because I had the
Speaker 1: greatest mom in the world and she'd be up every morning,
Speaker 1: but figured out she slipped in. Wandered Off walked a
Speaker 1: mile or two to kindergarten and was the only one
Speaker 1: there other than the creepy janitor who took good care
Speaker 1: of me. I mean he just looked creepy. He wasn't creepy.
Speaker 1: He was a nice guy. But yeah, it was they
Speaker 1: had closed to school. How was I supposed to know anyway? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a different era, but I get it with any snow, anything, slick,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But how cold should it have to be
Speaker 1: before they delay or close school? I'd like your take
Speaker 1: on that. This texter did not address that. I mean, today,
Speaker 1: how cold should it have to be? Eight five five
Speaker 1: four zero five eight two five five When we come
Speaker 1: back that really strange story out of Columbine. You're on
Speaker 1: the Dan Capless.
Speaker 5: Show and now back to the Dankapless Show podcast.
Speaker 6: I think Putin couldn't be happier.
Speaker 7: I tell you, they're drinking Vodkas straight out of the
Speaker 7: bottle in the Kremlin tonight.
Speaker 1: It was a great day for Moscow.
Speaker 7: I think Telsey Gabbert's role as Director of National Intelligence
Speaker 7: is going to be extremely harmful to our national security.
Speaker 7: I think many allies are now going to think twice
Speaker 7: before they share intelligence with US. I think it'll impair
Speaker 7: our ability to gain confidence around the world. It was
Speaker 7: one of his worst nominations, beyond a doubt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is so sad because did John Bolton
Speaker 1: set right there, like three feet away from me in
Speaker 1: this studio. And John Bolton's done a lot of good
Speaker 1: things over the years, but I think what's happened to
Speaker 1: him is the same thing that happened at George will
Speaker 1: and Bill Crystal and some other folks who've done great
Speaker 1: things for the conservative movement, and that is they got
Speaker 1: sideways with Trump. You know, they got into a urinating
Speaker 1: contest with Trump, and then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: causes that matter so much much went out the window
Speaker 1: at all became personal, and I think it became that
Speaker 1: way with John Bolton, and that's sad. And I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about his criticism of Trump. Nobody cares obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: Trump got elected people John Bolton wanted to didn't. It's
Speaker 1: just sad for me because John Bolton has done a
Speaker 1: lot of good over the years. He's been absolutely right
Speaker 1: about Iran. But he's lost his mind over Trump like
Speaker 1: some other really good people have.
Speaker 3: And that's sad to see what Trump has said about him.
Speaker 3: He wanted to go to war with everybody. He was crazy.
Speaker 1: Listen, I think the truth is Ryan, anybody with a
Speaker 1: strong will, anybody with an ego, et cetera. If Trump
Speaker 1: all of a sudden ripped Ryan shuling, you'd probably be
Speaker 1: at war with Trump.
Speaker 2: And I'd be laughing, you know.
Speaker 1: But but no, it's sad because Trump's right on this
Speaker 1: and John is wrong. And if try to get John
Speaker 1: on the show, because what I'd like to do, and
Speaker 1: I've had him on air bunch, what I'd like to
Speaker 1: do is ask him, Okay, John, what's your alternative? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump didn't create this mess in Ukraine. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden did and the left did through their weakness, So
Speaker 1: what is your alternative here because there isn't one sure
Speaker 1: And the last thing I want to see is that
Speaker 1: Satan on earth Putin when in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: But unless Europe's willing to put boots on the ground, right,
Speaker 1: Putin is going to gain territory, and Europe is not
Speaker 1: willing to put boots on the ground.
Speaker 3: What about this compromise where everybody loses? And you know
Speaker 3: what a compromise is is nobody gets what they want, really,
Speaker 3: but that Russia gets to hold on to the donbas
Speaker 3: Rage and Crimea. However Ukraine gets to become part of NATO,
Speaker 3: which I know that both pants well, I know that.
Speaker 3: But the thing is where I'm coming down where I
Speaker 3: kind of agree with you, is it would be sad
Speaker 3: for Putin to be rewarded for this invasion and this
Speaker 3: incursion and if he gets the territory that he conquered
Speaker 3: assured to him and Ukraine not joining NATO. I got
Speaker 3: to look at it from Zolenski's point of view, what
Speaker 3: is he getting out of this? What assurances or protections
Speaker 3: does Ukraine get from Russia not invading again?
Speaker 2: That's a legitimate concern for them.
Speaker 1: And listen that the very sad reality is Putin is
Speaker 1: going to gain here, but it's not Trump's fault. No,
Speaker 1: it's Biden's fault, and it's Europe's fault. Trump is stopping
Speaker 1: the bleeding, which benefits the entire world. It's just extremely
Speaker 1: sad that somebody as evil as Putin is going to
Speaker 1: gain here. But it does need dan. Unless Europe's willing
Speaker 1: to put boots on the ground and defeat the Russian army,
Speaker 1: then Putin is going to come out of this in
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form gaining and so but what
Speaker 1: does Trump for that?
Speaker 3: Because Trump's the ultimate dealmaker, I think He's going to
Speaker 3: get this done before the end of the month. That's
Speaker 3: my bold prediction. However, what assurances can the United States
Speaker 3: can Trump offers a Lenski to safeguard against Russia ever
Speaker 3: doing this again without Ukraine joining NATO and having those protections.
Speaker 1: Good question. I think there's going to be a NATO
Speaker 1: light in there, but there's obviously not going to be
Speaker 1: NATO right. The administration has already said that. And I
Speaker 1: hate to see Putin get any kind of concession or
Speaker 1: any kind to benefit. It began and blame it on Biden.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump said it and listen for yourself.
Speaker 8: I believe that's the reason the war started because Biden
Speaker 8: went out and said that they could join NATO, and
Speaker 8: they shouldn't have said that. As soon as he said that,
Speaker 8: I said, you know what, you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Have a war now.
Speaker 8: And I was right about that. This is a war
Speaker 8: that would have never happened if I were president. I
Speaker 8: think Biden is incompetent, and I think when he said
Speaker 8: that they could join NATO, I thought that was a
Speaker 8: very stupid thing to say. I thought when he said, well,
Speaker 8: it depends if it's a minor incursion, oh man. In
Speaker 8: other words, it's okay Prussia does a minor incursion, I
Speaker 8: thought that was a very foolish thing to say.
Speaker 1: That is so very true. We talked about it at
Speaker 1: the time. I want to get to some of these
Speaker 1: great texts, Dan. They should never close school for the
Speaker 1: temp unless particular schools HVAC is not working. So taking
Speaker 1: your thoughts on how cold does it need to because
Speaker 1: we had a lot of delays, maybe some cancelations over
Speaker 1: cold snow, ice, the dangerous stuff. If I get it,
Speaker 1: and I get that deep, deep temperatures can be dangerous.
Speaker 1: Kids are out at bus stops. Just want to know
Speaker 1: from you, how cold should it have to be? Here's
Speaker 1: a really important shown Boyd piece. She's so good over
Speaker 1: at CBS Denver full disclosure. Used to work with her
Speaker 1: consummate journalists. This is on a weird deal.
Speaker 9: At Columbine, Sean Boyd uncovered documents the show's school officials
Speaker 9: helped an underage student declare herself homeless so she could
Speaker 9: move in with a teacher.
Speaker 1: Sean Boyd joined us now to talk more honestly, Sean,
Speaker 1: she was not homeless, No.
Speaker 10: And the school district admits that those involved knew that.
Speaker 10: Yet they helped a student fill out a federal form
Speaker 10: that said she was homeless, then hid it from her
Speaker 10: parents so she could move in with a teacher. And
Speaker 10: that's just the beginning there, Now.
Speaker 1: Ryan, before I played the rest of this, how many
Speaker 1: people went to jail, none.
Speaker 11: Like this icky feeling about something's wrong? And then as
Speaker 11: that progressed, it only got worse.
Speaker 10: Heather McCormick says there were red flags at Columbine High
Speaker 10: School long before the school district hired investigators who found
Speaker 10: teacher Leanne Carney had been grooming a female studentcormick is
Speaker 10: friends with that student's mother.
Speaker 11: And there wasn't one person who stood up and was like,
Speaker 11: something doesn't seem right and reached out to the parents instead.
Speaker 10: School emails obtained through an open records request show counselors
Speaker 10: purposefully kept the parents in the dark while they helped
Speaker 10: their daughter fill out a federal form declaring herself homeless
Speaker 10: so she could move in with a teacher. I think
Speaker 10: it's really scary that we can take teenagers or children
Speaker 10: of any age and just say whatever you say is truth.
Speaker 1: We're not going to investigate it.
Speaker 11: We're going to take big steps to declare you homeless
Speaker 11: without notifying your.
Speaker 10: Family, Investigators, say Principal Scott Christie also knew about the
Speaker 10: girls plans and didn't tell her parents. McCormick says the
Speaker 10: mom stumbled upon the homeless document while cleaning her daughter's
Speaker 10: room and later found a letter describing her daughter kissing Carney,
Speaker 10: along with thousands of calls and texts between the two.
Speaker 10: She says she sent Carne a message warning her it
Speaker 10: needed to stop, and then took the calls and text
Speaker 10: to the principal, who, she says, dismiss them, telling her
Speaker 10: miss Carney takes interest in helping kids navigate their sexuality.
Speaker 10: I think the school would have reacted differently had Carney
Speaker 10: been a mail control Oh absolutely, Carney quit, but it
Speaker 10: would take two years and pressure from the mom before
Speaker 10: she lost her teaching license. McCormick says her friend lost
Speaker 10: far more when her daughter turned eighteen. She moved out
Speaker 10: of state with the teacher.
Speaker 11: It's really scary to think that there are schools and
Speaker 11: teachers and administrations that are working behind your back, not
Speaker 11: in the best interest of your child.
Speaker 10: Checho School District sent me a statement saying, obviously the
Speaker 10: student did not meet the criteria to be considered homeless,
Speaker 10: and the staff involved in this isolated incident we're addressed
Speaker 10: as part of the investigation.
Speaker 1: My lord, this is insane. Where's Phil Wiser right? Where's
Speaker 1: the attorney general? Where's the local prosecute? I mean, what's
Speaker 1: going on here? I want to come back. I want
Speaker 1: to get your react to this. What do you think
Speaker 1: should happen next? How could this even happen? Great reporting
Speaker 1: by Sean Boyd here on The Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Taplass Show Podcast.
Speaker 1: Five five The number text d A N five seven
Speaker 1: seventh three nine. I'll get to the phone lines in
Speaker 1: a second, but text and fuego as they should be
Speaker 1: if you just joined us. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: to summarize this story. It's so whack. Sean Boyd did
Speaker 1: a great job on CBS four with it. We'll replay
Speaker 1: it again at some point here. But as I understand
Speaker 1: the story, the the allegation is that you had a
Speaker 1: teacher and others at Columbine High School and jeff Go
Speaker 1: School System who got together and falsely claimed that a
Speaker 1: student was homeless, filled out paperwork attesting to that so
Speaker 1: the student could move in with the teacher, and after
Speaker 1: reportedly she turned eighteen, she then moved out of state
Speaker 1: with the teacher. According to the story, your mother had
Speaker 1: said she saw a photograph in her child's room of
Speaker 1: the child kissing the teacher. So, if all of this
Speaker 1: is true, why did the administration cooperate in this? Why
Speaker 1: haven't people been arrested and prosecuted? Again, I don't have
Speaker 1: access to all the underlying facts. I can't sit here
Speaker 1: and tell you that so and so should be charged
Speaker 1: with such and such. But anytime you hear a story
Speaker 1: that says that a teacher falsely attested a student was
Speaker 1: homeless so the student could move in with them, and
Speaker 1: then the mother claims she saw a picture of the
Speaker 1: student kissing the teacher, and then the student moves in
Speaker 1: with the teacher after graduating, and administrators were involved in
Speaker 1: the falsification. That's the allegation right at that point, wouldn't
Speaker 1: you expect, I mean just literally expect the next line
Speaker 1: in the story that you're reading is going to be
Speaker 1: And the District Attorney Jefferson County says, X Attorney Phil
Speaker 1: General phil Wiser says, why wouldn't you expect to read that?
Speaker 1: Ryan said, your understanding of this story and we're trying
Speaker 1: to reach on Boyd and get her to join us
Speaker 1: on the show that there is not any criminal charge,
Speaker 1: there's no criminal investigation. Is that your understanding of this story?
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 3: And in my conversation with Lindsay dadco of Jeffco Kids First,
Speaker 3: and she does Yeoman's Well, she does that organization. She
Speaker 3: is in communication and has been with the parents of
Speaker 3: the young woman for the last two and a half
Speaker 3: years before this finally became public. And the journey that's
Speaker 3: been taken just to get to that point, plus the
Speaker 3: teacher was still certified to teach after all of this,
Speaker 3: nearly two years after this incident. This was a sexual
Speaker 3: relationship between a trusted adult in a position of power
Speaker 3: as a teacher.
Speaker 1: And a minor.
Speaker 3: And because we've seen this from the Texters, I have
Speaker 3: to agree the teacher was female, the student was female.
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of everybody looked the other way.
Speaker 3: Had this been a male teacher, I think a very
Speaker 3: different result could have been expected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what do you think, text or Dan, if
Speaker 1: there was a male teacher, everybody would be in prison.
Speaker 1: But it makes no difference. People should be in jail
Speaker 1: even though the teacher is a woman. Of course, it
Speaker 1: should be no different whether it's a male or female.
Speaker 1: I think everybody would agree on that. Now as to
Speaker 1: how it's treated in reality, you're right, it isn't always
Speaker 1: the same Text Dam five seven seven three nine. So
Speaker 1: and then could you grab Lindsay Deco and ever join
Speaker 1: us as well and kick this around because all thing
Speaker 1: is so mind blowing to me. And then it gets
Speaker 1: to a larger issue, right, and this ties into what
Speaker 1: we open the show with, which is DPS Denver Public
Speaker 1: Schools suing the US depart of Homeland Security to try
Speaker 1: to stop ICE from entering schools to apprehend criminals.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I know it's as crazy as it sounds, But then
Speaker 1: good job in this Denver Post story, and it's done
Speaker 1: by an excellent reporter, Jessica Cassiman, really well researched, very thorough.
Speaker 1: But within this story, here's what's really going on. Right,
Speaker 1: DPS has also trained staff I'm paraphrasing, to deny ICE
Speaker 1: agent's entry into the schools unless they have a warrant.
Speaker 1: Here's the money paragraph. Here's what's really going on. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, DPS argued in the lawsuit that the drop
Speaker 1: in student attendance quote, constitutes a clear threat to DPS's
Speaker 1: stability because school funding is calculated based on how many
Speaker 1: students are in Denver schools. So that's what's going on, right,
Speaker 1: Because the Trump administration has properly said, we're going after
Speaker 1: people are illegally, you've committed other crimes, and because they've
Speaker 1: committed other crimes, we've got to follow them wherever they go.
Speaker 1: They can't take refuge in a school or a church
Speaker 1: or somewhere else. They're criminals. We've got to get them.
Speaker 1: And so at this point because that means these administrators
Speaker 1: that at DPS now may have less money to work
Speaker 1: with that all of a sudden, the safety of the
Speaker 1: students in the school doesn't matter.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 1: Remember, these are the same people who ran the SROs
Speaker 1: out of Denver public schools. They ran the armed officers
Speaker 1: out until there was so much bloodshed that parents demanded
Speaker 1: they bring them back in, and bloodshed everybody could have
Speaker 1: seen coming right once. They ran the SROs out and
Speaker 1: essentially created this invitation for bad guys, which is exactly
Speaker 1: what DPS is doing here in the interest of preserving
Speaker 1: bureaucratic power that comes with more money per people funding
Speaker 1: that these DPS bureacrats are essentially sending the message to
Speaker 1: these criminals everywhere. Our schools are a safe zone for you.
Speaker 1: Ice can't touch you in here unless they have a warrant.
Speaker 1: And we all know how the challenges of going out
Speaker 1: and obtaining warrants, etc. So yeah, wow, once again. And
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about there are so many great individuals
Speaker 1: within DPS. I'm talking about the political The political arm
Speaker 1: of DPS that runs the show and over and over
Speaker 1: and over again uses these kids as political pawns to
Speaker 1: the point of running the SROs out, which puts an
Speaker 1: enlarged target on the kids back. But you think the
Speaker 1: administrators there, the political powers, cared about that. No, all
Speaker 1: they cared about was advancing their own leftist agenda. Any
Speaker 1: have you thought there, mister superintendent, maybe that's why you
Speaker 1: have fewer kids in the school because over and over
Speaker 1: again you and your cronies show my constitutionally protected opinion
Speaker 1: that your priority is not the kids, it's your leftist agenda.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Arazio. You're on the Dan Kaplis show.
Speaker 2: Welcome again.
Speaker 4: Originally I was going to talk about.
Speaker 6: John Bolton and the jealousy of Trump.
Speaker 4: Trump has been able to do.
Speaker 6: Things that Biden was choosing to do. So if anyone
Speaker 6: should be celebrating rock with slutin, should be Biden's himself
Speaker 6: because you know, allow for people to suffer.
Speaker 4: And basically just.
Speaker 6: He bragged about it in all of the Supreme Court.
Speaker 6: But now as far as our school system, if he
Speaker 6: has has always been.
Speaker 4: Even though it's produced one Hollywood star, Don Schadeo got
Speaker 4: that going for.
Speaker 1: And my wife, well, no, that was Cheery Creek.
Speaker 4: And uh, you know I went through Adams County. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I had a little bit of a better experience, but
Speaker 4: that was more over mind than Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, Razio, what's your thought, you'd DPS be allowing ice
Speaker 1: in to arrest criminals.
Speaker 4: I think that's aiding and embedding, knowing sellons you able
Speaker 4: to prosecute those crimes.
Speaker 1: Well, and I'm with you on that, Razion, Thank you
Speaker 1: for leading us to this important point. Pam BONDI that
Speaker 1: the new ag is going after New York. Now, these
Speaker 1: aren't criminal charges, but should the same type of civil
Speaker 1: charges be brought against some in power in Colorado?
Speaker 12: We have filed charges against the state of New York.
Speaker 12: We have filed charges against Kathy Hochel, We have filed
Speaker 12: charges against Letitia James and Mark Schroeder, who is with DMV.
Speaker 12: This is a new dj and we are taking steps
Speaker 12: to protect Americans, American citizens and Angel moms. It's like
Speaker 12: the mom standing right behind me, who you're going to
Speaker 12: hear from in a moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and should similar action be taken against Governor Polis,
Speaker 1: against Mike Johnston, against the superintendent of DPS. That's a question,
Speaker 1: an open question. But what do you think about that?
Speaker 1: A Texter says, getting back to this report of a
Speaker 1: bizarre situation at Columbine Dan. This is another example of
Speaker 1: the education establishment promoting sexual deviants, from the principle down
Speaker 1: to the teacher. That's all part of their leftist agenda.
Speaker 1: Can't say I've can't say I've really seen that as
Speaker 1: a thrust from the left. Though, when you say that, Texter,
Speaker 1: I think back to something we led the charge on,
Speaker 1: and that was remember when a top priority of the left,
Speaker 1: Polus said so in the State of the State Address,
Speaker 1: was passing a bill that was on track to pass.
Speaker 1: It was going to pass that would have decriminalized many
Speaker 1: major crimes, including sexual crimes committed by high school students
Speaker 1: or any public school student in school. It'd be essentially decriminalized,
Speaker 1: and our show led the charge against that. The Denver
Speaker 1: Post very courageously ran and not bad I did on
Speaker 1: that front and center on Easter Sunday, and the bill
Speaker 1: died two days later, not because of me, but because
Speaker 1: the Post was courageous enough to put that piece out there,
Speaker 1: front and center, and the facts in the piece were
Speaker 1: devastating to the left. But when you talk about that, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were ready to legalize some really, really serious sex
Speaker 1: crime committed by Denver public or any public school students.
Speaker 1: So you wonder about the left, the only thing you
Speaker 1: know for sure is they don't care about kids. They're
Speaker 1: talking about the left. Kids are their last priority, and
Speaker 1: they harm kids in so many different ways, starting with
Speaker 1: opposing true competition and education. I've got the fixer DPS.
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you when we come back here
Speaker 1: on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 12: If you don't comply with federal law, we will hold
Speaker 12: you accountable.
Speaker 1: We did it to an Illinois. Strike one. Strike two
Speaker 1: is New York.
Speaker 12: And if you are a state not complying with federal law,
Speaker 12: your next get ready?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and is Colorado one of those states? I guess
Speaker 1: we're going to find out in the view of the
Speaker 1: Trump administration. One thing we know for sure with Colorado,
Speaker 1: right is that Polis and the rest of these lefties
Speaker 1: have done everything they can think of to try to
Speaker 1: protect criminal illegal immigrants, meaning people here illegally who've then
Speaker 1: committed other crimes to the point of not only committed
Speaker 1: other crimes, got themselves in the system, got themselves into jail,
Speaker 1: got themselves through the process, got themselves convicted, and then
Speaker 1: Polus and these other lefties tie the hands of probation
Speaker 1: and parole their ability to cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you get back to kind of person
Speaker 1: would do that, right, try to protect people who had
Speaker 1: committed other crimes. Yeah, but that's the mentality of the left,
Speaker 1: and that's why they're losing many many places around the country.
Speaker 1: When will that come to Colorado? By the way, Ryan,
Speaker 1: what's your prediction? What's your year? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wow, twenty twenty seven?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, it's a little odd since there are any
Speaker 1: elections in twenty seven behind that's okay, that'll be the
Speaker 1: year the big change, and then you'll see it in
Speaker 1: the twenty eight electure. Okay, all right, Dan says a
Speaker 1: Texter to DA in five, seven, seven thirty nine. Directing
Speaker 1: Tdams thirteen and other criminals to seek refuge in our
Speaker 1: schools is criminal. Yeah, great point. You know, DPS now
Speaker 1: suing the Trump administration so that ICE doesn't come in
Speaker 1: and arrest criminals in DPS schools, right, which obviously sends
Speaker 1: the message, hey, criminals out there, this is a safe
Speaker 1: place for you. Yeah. I know it's completely backwards, but
Speaker 1: remember this is the same gang, this is the same group.
Speaker 1: These these DPS political executives who ran who actually ran
Speaker 1: the police out of the schools, ran the SROs out
Speaker 1: of the schools, and anybody with the brain knew right
Speaker 1: then that you were gravely endangering all of the kids
Speaker 1: and teachers and staff in the schools, but they didn't
Speaker 1: care about that. The political administration just wanted to make
Speaker 1: their political statements. So it's so sad because I don't
Speaker 1: mean to sound like a broken record, but there are
Speaker 1: so many good people in DPS, but you get these
Speaker 1: politicos who get themselves into these top positions and they
Speaker 1: hijack the thing. In my constitutionally protected opinion, Dan, the
Speaker 1: Columbine situation is disturbing on so many levels. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: Frank DeAngelis would have never let such a situation happen.
Speaker 1: That's for now sure. Sad what has happened to our
Speaker 1: beautiful state DK in Broomfield and Columbine still a great place.
Speaker 1: The fact that you had the conduct of the administrators
Speaker 1: described in the story going on. I mean, the report's true,
Speaker 1: and take away from the fact Columbine is great, But
Speaker 1: I'm going to come back to this report at five six,
Speaker 1: the essence of it from Shawn Boyd, tremendous journalist over
Speaker 1: at CBS Denver, is the essence of the allegation is
Speaker 1: that you had a teacher who, along with cooperative administrators,
Speaker 1: falsified a form saying that a student who was actually
Speaker 1: living at home with her parents was homeless, so that
Speaker 1: the student could then move in with the teacher. And
Speaker 1: then the parent found the form in the kid's room
Speaker 1: and parents says a picture of the teacher kissing the student,
Speaker 1: and then the parents complaining to the school, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But now the kid turns eighteen and has moved in
Speaker 1: with the teacher, who is now out of state, has
Speaker 1: lost her license to teach, right, Ryan, but two years
Speaker 1: after the fact. But one big question mark is were
Speaker 1: there any criminal charges here? Was their criminal investigation? Did
Speaker 1: anything ever happen on that front? The administrators who were involved,
Speaker 1: they all get canned. I mean, we're trying to get
Speaker 1: Sean Boyd on so we can get to the bottom
Speaker 1: of this, and Sean's wonderful. If she can't come on today,
Speaker 1: she will sometime soon and we'll continue to pursue that.
Speaker 1: Lindsay Datko will join us at five oh six and
Speaker 1: Lindsay's been a just phenomenally great activist out in Jeffco
Speaker 1: has accomplished so much good over the years, and she's
Speaker 1: very familiar with this story. So we'll have more details
Speaker 1: at five oh six. But again I don't know all
Speaker 1: the details. I just heard this story, but it strikes
Speaker 1: me initially as being another example of one of the
Speaker 1: things that is the most threatening to this state and country,
Speaker 1: which is unequal application of the law. If all of
Speaker 1: these facts are true, well, how in the world could
Speaker 1: there not be criminal prosecution here, mass firings, etc. And again,
Speaker 1: nothing threatens us right as a society more than unequal
Speaker 1: application of the law, because you got to know, law
Speaker 1: applies to everybody the same way, and you can't have
Speaker 1: a case where, Okay, somebody is a conservative, so if
Speaker 1: they do X, they're going to be fully prosecuted thrown
Speaker 1: in jail. And even if they don't do X, you
Speaker 1: know they're going to be politically motivated prosecutions and have
Speaker 1: a situation where people on the left with the favored
Speaker 1: political party can do X and not be touched. You
Speaker 1: can't have a situation like that and have a stable,
Speaker 1: healthy society. Three or three, someone three eight two five
Speaker 1: five the number text d an five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: Also in the five o'clock hour, because it ties into
Speaker 1: this conversation about DPS now offering this safe haven to criminals,
Speaker 1: because again Trump administration has made it clear it's targeting criminals.
Speaker 1: People here illegally, you've committed other crimes. I do want
Speaker 1: to get into in the five o'clock hour a list
Speaker 1: of the so called, well i'll call them safe spaces
Speaker 1: that Michael Bennett and John Hickenlooper are trying to carve
Speaker 1: out with their bill, These safe spaces that would prevent
Speaker 1: ICE from detaining illegal immigrants if illegal immigrants found the
Speaker 1: shelter of these safe spaces. This is a bill that's
Speaker 1: being supported by Bennett Hickenloper. I've talked a lot about
Speaker 1: what you can find on my Twitter account at Dan Caplis.
Speaker 1: On x I posted the page where Bennett and Hickenlooper
Speaker 1: are pushing a bill that would give an illegal immigrant
Speaker 1: sanctuary couldn't be touched by ICE
